      <image:caption>Same bird as above, hunting a field. I didn't edit this photo to lighten it, but the bird is quite dark! Notice the barring on top of the tail, barely visible from the side. I'd assume this bird is an adult, but can't tell for sure.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Here's a cropped photo of an adult Harlan's Red-tailed Hawk. Notice the flecking and splotchiness of the black pigmentation on the tail, with a faint red cast visible from the underside. Also visible in this photo is the expected thinner barring, showing "waviness" on the underside of the wing feathers. The dark eyes and unbarred tail are features that when combined, help point to an adult bird.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I thought I saw a Long-tailed Jaeger on my pelagic trip out of California earlier this year, however the looks I had at the bird didn't allow me to see the long tail plumes. Knowing I would have an opportunity to see this species nesting in Nome, I couldn't wait to see them and get a "perfect" photograph. I'm happy with this image!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Finding a Northern Wheatear in Nome has been easier last time I visited; this time we lucked out spotting one high up on Skookum pass the day before I was going to check a known nesting location from eBird. Sneaking up on the barren alpine tundra with no cover for an adequate photograph was challenging to say the least!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Ideally, early June is the best time to find Bluethroat in Nome, when they are singing and displaying at the beginning of breeding season. Now, they're silent and secretive, as was the hardest bird to find on our trip. It came down to a last-minute effort, driving the Kougarok Road the last morning before going to the airport. A 75-meter bushwack up the hillside from a milepost from a recent eBird checklist turned up this male who popped up from the bushes, sang an alternate song, and disappeared back into the sea of willows.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>After a failed search hiking up "Mt. Doom" several summers ago, this bird has been near the top of my "most-wanted" list for North America. Luckily, my earlier timing this year put me in prime breeding habitat while these birds were on territory! I lucked out with beautiful weather and some great looks at this "lifer".</image:caption>

      <image:caption>A common breeder around the river valleys of Nome, this Arctic Warbler was singing at our first stop of the morning along the Kougarok Road. It is the only member of the Old World warblers that breeds in North America, making an interesting addition to my year list.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Home - When you read Falcon Freeway you will almost feel the cold air above the Arctic Circle and the scorching heat of a desert in summer. You will feel like you have traveled to the extreme corners of the continent. You will feel the rush of excitement during a chase and gritting it out through a tough miss. You will be doing all of this with the challenges of a budget.</image:title>
